My Teardrop Factory (Garage) is almost complete. I won't have time to finish my "TearStang" or "Muskatear" or what ever I'll call it for this year. But I am getting excite for a large, dry and secure area to do my projects.

Looks nice! :thumbsup:

Much easier to build a trailer when you can leave your tools and materials and just close the door...

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...

It sure is. I worked for just a few hours and got quite a bit done. Left everything where I wanted to. Yeah, it's nice.

That's interesting framing. Never seen that down here.

I have plenty of room. Since you're so happy to have built one, would you like to build another?

Good work.

Cheers,

Gus

Have some serious garage envy over here. We had a fabulous space to build and now store ours in, but it is not ours. Randy has a whole machine shop, but needs. Garage/workshop at home.

Yeah, it was a long time in the waiting. I had to build my first teardrop under a tarp structure that would blow away from time to time. Neighbors complaining. Etc etc. Took me 20 years but I got the garage. :cry:

Really nice...I waited until I am too old to need one (60) to buy a prebuilt unit (only 10 x 20 -- largest one I could pay for in 3 months with what I had saved). You should have plenty of room for your tear projects :thumbsup: .

I keep getting a bit of anxiety when I hear the wind outside the garage. Then I realize that the garage won't blow away like my tarp structures. All is well. :D
